We had a cat that loved yellow food. I realize cats don’t see colors the way we do which made it all the more confusing. Honeydew melon? Yeah. Cantaloupe? Nah. Water melon? You crazy? Yellow bell pepper? Go ahead. Red bell pepper? Fuck off. It loved corn. And potatoes. And once it went straight for the yellow M&M when they spilled on the floor. That cat had a severe deficiency of yellow.

That’s so weird.
I’ve always heard that cats are basically colourblind, but I used to have a cat that was terrified of the colour orange. He bit an orange extension cord as a baby, and would avoid orange after that. Not red, not yellow, only bright orange.
We had a bright orange blanket, and if you dropped him onto it, he’d spring away like it was a trampoline.

It’s crazy how orange gave your cat PTSD. I think cats are dichromatic, they see blue and yellow. But orange is weird because of the red part of the color. I guess they still can differentiate?

This is mybrelationship with my daughter’s cat. That cat hates me, but we have a mutual understanding that I will let her smell anything in my hands if its food or not.

No joke, I love letting my cat smell everything I make. She has never tried to eat it. I read somewhere that they are very curious about what you’re doing and the world around them, so I like to let her smell my bowl of food (unless the smell is particularly strong or pungent).

I have a colleague just like that.
- Whatcha eating?
- <stuff>
- Did you season it exactly the way I like so it’s unedible to you?
- No.
- Ew.

Get a sphinx cat or other hairless breed.

Sphinx cats are best walking sentient ball sacks.

My guess is this cat is doing it because it’s a real big smell.

My cat wants to smell my morning coffee every time. She smells the milk, and even though she should know there’s disgusting burnt bean juice in it too she insists on checking it out anyway.

I do the complement to this: I hunt down my cat and make sure he gets a whiff because I enjoy the silly faces he makes.

Mine wants to smell it and also eat it.

I have the sudden urge to offer my cat a lime.

Better than them eating it.
deacon@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Oh mine too except they don’t make the face and do very much want to eat it, every time, without fail.

My cat did this for years with two exceptions (blueberries and peas, which must be stolen, played with, and lost under the couch). Then one day I had brisket. His eyes got huge and he immediately tried too steal it and eat it, so I guess after four years I finally passed his test for “this is food”.
cm0002@suppo.fi 1 day ago
He shouldn’t have had to steal it, you should have been a good humon and served it to him proper!
This incident will be reported

My cat did that with Wendys bacon specifically. She would try and pull it out of our mouths. She loved it so much that we’d stop after vet visits to get her a side of bacon.

One of my cats is almost this obsessed with pears. She likes smelling people’s mouths anyway, but goes nuts if you’re eating a pear. She rubs her face all over pears, bites the stalks, licks them…

But not other bacon?

Cat has good taste, brisket is good stuff!
